Sebas Washed XL SPC Rigid-Core Plank starts at $3.99 per square foot installed in Fort Myers — a washed honey-toned floor from CPF Floors’ Project XL collection that reads warm without going rustic. The 9-by-60-inch planks give rooms a relaxed, large-format look, and the gray undertones in the finish keep it versatile alongside both cool and earthy palettes.
This floor was built for the conditions Southwest Florida throws at it daily. The rigid stone-plastic composite core doesn’t swell when humidity spikes, won’t buckle over a concrete slab that breathes moisture from below, and holds steady in coastal homes where salt air accelerates wear on softer materials.
The 20 mil wear layer and heavy residential to general commercial traffic rating make it a practical choice for high-foot-traffic areas — kitchens, great rooms, hallways, and rental properties where durability matters more than delicacy. For seasonal homes left closed during summer, the rigid core handles the temperature and humidity cycling without the dimensional shifting that plagues softer flooring formats.

Flooring Queen installs Sebas Washed XL at $3.99 per square foot, and that price covers more than just the planks going down. It includes delivery to your home, removal of your existing floor covering, surface prep for a standard substrate, installation of the planks, new baseboard molding, and transition strips between rooms — plus cleanup and material haul-away when the crew leaves.
Some projects carry upcharges: significant subfloor leveling beyond routine prep, stair nosing, diagonal or herringbone layouts, and decorative border work. Call Flooring Queen or schedule a free in-home measure to get a written quote specific to your rooms before committing to a budget.
Shoppers drawn to Sebas Washed XL’s warm wood look often price out engineered hardwood at the same time. The honest comparison comes down to water and cost. Engineered hardwood looks authentic and can be lightly sanded and refinished, but it’s not waterproof — a slow leak under a refrigerator or a pet with incontinence can ruin it. Sebas Washed XL’s rigid core is fully waterproof through the plank, which matters in Florida kitchens, laundry rooms, and anywhere moisture is a daily variable.
Engineered hardwood typically installs around $8.99 per square foot — more than double this product’s price. Where engineered hardwood wins is authenticity: real wood veneer, a refinishable surface, and resale perception. If the space stays dry and budget allows, it’s a fair contender. For wet zones or rentals, the SPC is the practical call.
| Sebas Washed XL | Engineered Hardwood | |
|---|---|---|
| Water resistance | Fully waterproof rigid core | Moisture-sensitive; no standing water |
| Scratch resistance / wear layer | 20 mil commercial-grade wear layer | Thin veneer; scratches show |
| Comfort underfoot | 1.5 mm attached HD EVA pad | Naturally warmer; softer feel |
| Installed price | $3.99 / sq ft installed | ~$8.99 / sq ft installed |
| Best room | Kitchens, baths, rentals, high traffic | Bedrooms, dry living areas |
Sweep or dust-mop Sebas Washed XL regularly to keep grit — especially the fine sand that follows you in from a Southwest Florida yard — from acting like sandpaper on the wear layer. For damp mopping, use a pH-neutral vinyl floor cleaner such as Bona Stone, Tile & Laminate or a diluted castile soap solution; avoid anything acidic or abrasive. Never use a steam mop on SPC — sustained heat and moisture pressure can compromise the locking joints over time. Skip the beater-bar setting on your vacuum and use the hard-floor mode instead to protect the surface finish. For technical guidance, see the World Floor Covering Association vinyl flooring guide.
Sebas Washed XL has a fully waterproof rigid core — standing water on the surface won’t damage the plank itself. That said, water that seeps through the seams and sits under the floor for an extended period can affect the subfloor beneath it, so prompt cleanup of spills and leaks is still good practice.
The 20 mil wear layer on Sebas Washed XL is rated for heavy residential and general commercial traffic, which puts it well above what most household pets can dish out. Nails from medium and large dogs will cause light surface marks over time, but the thick wear layer delays that significantly compared to thinner vinyl options. Muddy paws wipe clean easily.
Sebas Washed XL ships with a 1.5 mm HD EVA pad already bonded to the back of each plank, so no separate underlayment purchase is needed. That attached cushion softens the feel underfoot and reduces the hollow sound that bare rigid-core floors can produce over a concrete slab.
Sebas Washed XL’s stone-plastic composite core is dimensionally stable through the humidity swings and temperature cycles that hit a closed Florida home in summer. Unlike solid hardwood or even some engineered options, the rigid core won’t cup, gap, or buckle when the AC is off and interior conditions fluctuate for months at a time.
Sebas Washed XL is SPC — stone-plastic composite — which means its core is reinforced with limestone powder, making it denser and more rigid than standard LVP. That rigidity resists denting under furniture and stays flat over minor subfloor imperfections. Traditional LVP is more flexible and slightly softer underfoot, but it’s more prone to indentation and telegraphing subfloor irregularities.
A single large room typically takes one day; a whole-home project in a standard Southwest Florida residence usually runs two to three days. The 9-by-60-inch format actually speeds things up — fewer cuts per square foot than smaller planks. The angle-angle locking system is straightforward, and the attached pad means no separate underlayment step slowing the crew down.
